“And yet falsely claiming to be a human through online interaction could/should be seen as a manifestation of false and misleading advertising under the Competition Act. Chatbots should be clearly labelled, too. They should not be able to masquerade as humans.
Synthetic media is super similar. If we are to consider consuming stuff conjured by artificial intelligence, we should be able to know what made it.” A+ piece from Vass Bendar: regs2riches.com/p/what-tech-po… #AI #techpolicy #GCdigital
